Mission Statement:
EMMAUS IS AN INCLUSIVE CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY THAT LOVES, CELEBRATES
AND SERVES GOD, ONE ANOTHER AND THE WORLD.
The Spirit of Emmaus
It is not immutable.
It does not waver or evolve,
It flows.
In this flow, we evolve to help fulfill the vision
of Father, Mother, and Brother God for all of Creation,
through our stewardship in our making Their Kin-dom visible.
This spirit is the creative power of God poured out to guide our given mission.
Through this spirit, the unique ministry that was entrusted to our community is pursued.
It provides for the wounded heart, a needed place of compassion and healing embrace;
and for the wandering soul, a restful place of welcome, inclusion, and refuge.
It adopts all creatures and peoples; their faiths, orientations, and identities.
We are gathered by this spirit as a family, and we discover that through
meeting the needs of others, that our deepest needs are met as well.
The ceaseless gifts of this unique spirit of Emmaus are evident by:
Love, in generosity, gentleness, forgiveness, caring
Hope, in nurturing, patience, healing, helping
Joy, in giving, gathering, celebration, serving
Peace, in diversity, comfort, unity, sharing.
Faith, in trust, friendship, journey, justice
Mystery
Mystery is not unique to Emmaus, yet it is where God steps
into our community and our personal lives to make God’s Presence
known in unique ways that are one's own and otherwise inexplicable.
Any faith community can boast of these as the attributes of their "spirit",
but within and without Emmaus, our boast is of our Compassionate God,
and is spoken not only through loving words, but also in our loving actions.
The spirit of Emmaus is:
not an organization, we are a living organism;
not an institution, we are a harmonious instrument;
not an administration, we are an embracing ministry;
not a corporation, we are Corpus Christi; the Body of Christ.
Above all, the Spirit of Emmaus is mystical Oneness with our Brother Jesus,
gathering us in tangible Oneness in community and in ministry to the world.
Please join us in growing and living that spirit.
